The Tired Pilgrim Winner of the Nikon Professional In-Frame Travel Award 2010

What the judges said - If you are going to shoot a more cliched image then you have to do it well - very well. A close up head and shoulders shot in black and white is a style that is done quite often, but this image stands out because of it's absolute quality and sharpness. I like the eye contact and all of the detail in the skin. The expression on the woman's face is very deep and mysterious, but does come over as proud and sympathetic. Overall a very expressive and technically competent portrait. Click to view
